Case Study: Greenfield Engineering boosts sheet metal efficiency with Hexagon Radan

Greenfield shows Radan power to tomorrow’s engineers

Greenfield Engineering, a sheet metal subcontractor based in the UK, faced the challenge of competing effectively with manufacturers in lower-cost regions like Eastern Europe and the Far East. To improve their efficiency and manufacturing flexibility, they partnered with vendor Hexagon and implemented its Radan CAD/CAM software as well as its specialized logistics suite.

The solution from Hexagon provided advanced nesting capabilities for optimal material usage and streamlined programming for their CNC machine tools. The implementation of Hexagon's software suite resulted in significant improvements, including higher material utilization, lower run times, and true 24-hour lights-out production capabilities. This has made Greenfield Engineering considerably more agile, flexible, and competitive in a volatile market.
